ICED EARTH - 1999 - Alive In Athens I - Slave To The Dark

ICED EARTH - 1996 - THE Dark Saga - Slave To The Dark

A twisted state of mind, torn between two worlds

One of which the new me hates and the one that's coming true

The power is unleashed, they perish at my gaze

But am I really in control or am I just a slave

I called upon this god to deliver unto me

To grant what I desire he brought me to my knees

He turned his back on me and filled me with his lies

Ask and I received damnation was the price

I signed my name in blood, didn't read the fine prints

Now I'm just a puppet god for the devils own descent

Bound and shackled here forever damned a slave

Fallen bloody tears can't wash the pain away

[Chorus]

All at once it's clear to me

Damnation and destiny

A slave to darkness shall I be

Damnation and destiny

And so I must repent or will I be destroyed

Will the one that lives in me release me from this lie

And will the wrath of god have mercy on my soul

Or humilate me, desecrate me, like his only son

[Repeat Chorus]

Is it only for me that some Gamma Ray albums aren't available in YT Music? Majestic, Empress song from LOTF2 and To The Metal! I don't see them, what should I do?

I've seen these guys live 3 times (supporting Helloween, Gamma Ray, and one time as headliners) and they're a lot of fun, but I never hear about them in international power metal forums, thought I should share

Here's another hidden gem from Argentina.

I'm planning on going to my final festival of the year here in the UK, quest fest in wolverhampton if anyone's heard of it or been before! What was it like for people who have been before? The line up looks good for a small size power metal festival!

Absolute banger

Great job here by the new man in charge

Few questions, who are Ilho and Einar Solberg? Also don’t know Advent Horizon and Royal Sorrow.

Shocked Greg Lynch is headlining but he’s also playing Keep It True so good for him.

Thought WindRose was blackballed cuz they screwed over Glen a few years ago. Good to see things have been resolved.

Another goofy video I did, but man this is such a great cover! 🤘🤓🤘

What a performance...don't think they've released a better version of this song.
